Who or What is in that Closet?

by Brenda Hampton, Aaron Littlejohn

Overview

Nine year old Marcus Frankfort is as curious as a kitten, and through his eyes, he lives an almost perfect life. His car collection exceeds well over 2000 model cars, and going to a new school means making new friends. His family has just moved into a remodeled two-story brick house that was built in the early 1900’s. Marcus believes there are possibilities of his ancient house having secret hidden passages, turning bookshelves or even ghosts. He’s determined to discover something adventurous, and having a plain old tree house in his backyard just will not do.

While searching for a hiding place one day, Marcus stumbles upon a huge hole in a basement closet. The mysterious hole takes him on an unforgettable journey, one that he does not quite know how to explain. His family members find his story extremely fabricated and so does his classmates. Only Marcus knows that there’s a real connection with his friends and to the extraordinary playground on the other side. When he’s allowed to share his experience with only one person, he has to decide if he’ll share what’s on the other side with his Dad, Mom, or his best friend, Samuel. But, when the time comes for Marcus to show the chosen person the hole in the closet will it actually exist? Has his imagination gone too far? Is there really another side? Or, will he be left scratching his head, wondering…Who or what was really in that closet?!
